Lotus Emira price in India; Eletre SUV details, India launch date

0

The iconic British sportscar brand’s first products to go on sale in India will be the Emira and the Eletre EV.

English sportscar brand Lotus is all set to arrive in India later this year. Famous for its Formula 1 team’s seven World Championships and its lightweight sportscars, Lotus will sell its cars through Exclusive Motors of New Delhi. The first couple of cars to go on sale will be the Emira and Eletre. 

The Emira is a sportscar and in many ways a typical Lotus. Relatively small, light and agile, it will be sold powered by a 365hp, four-cylinder AMG-sourced engine, and a more powerful 406hp V6 from Toyota. However, where the Emira is different from regular Lotus fare is that fit, finish and practicality are a cut above, and there’s a plushness to it that seems almost alien to this brand. There are door pockets and cup holders, the instruments are digital, and you even get a central touchscreen.
